has elapsed, homogeneity inside the UNGUATOR® Jar in fall can be expected.
Push the UNGUATOR® MB out of the UNGUATOR® Jar Lid. The ointment on the mixing blade
can be fallen off into the UNGUATOR® Jar using a spatula. When using the UNGUATOR®
Disp. Blade, the mixing blade can be removed from the UNGUATOR® Jar and disposed
or left inside the UNGUATOR® Jar. Leaving the blade inside the jar will have no effect on
dispensing the ointment through the UNGUATOR® Jar Lid. Removal of the mixing blade
is recommended, particularly when giving the ointment to elderly clients, since it might
otherwise cause confusion if the ointment is traditionally dispensed.
The UNGUATOR® Jar Lid is screwed back onto the UNGUATOR® Jar body and equipped
with an UNGUATOR® Varionozzle as needed. Then a UNGUATOR® Jar Lid together with
an UNGUATOR® Applicator is screwed on. Large UNGUATOR® Jars will be equipped with a
spindle or the AirDynamic® System. Also in this case, like in the the regular mixing process,
air diminution should be repeated. A “squirting out” of the ointment when first dispensed
can be prevented by eliminating cavities that may have developed during the mixing
process. The UNGUATOR® Jar Lid or the UNGUATOR® Applicator may now be fasten in
place.
A label may be attached on the UNGUATOR® Jar prior forwarding to the client, preferably
together with a short illustration of how to use and apply UNGUATOR® dispensing system.
It is also a good idea to record the individual mixing parameters together with the results
according to the final validation.
5. General recommendations on the UNGUATOR® mixing
system
In its quality regulations for processing any semisolid preparation, the German Chamber
of Pharmacists is recommending to apply for dispensing and mixing a jar having a small
dispensing nozzle since the year 2000.
